Hey another smokin' small FFA/tourney map for your ever-growing collection! [Kona] has been making maps for what seems like an eternity and everything he does just shines. This is one of his few releases for Q3A and includes a smaller tourney version so be sure and check that one out too!

Dressed up in battle weary metal this arena has a great Classic Quake look and feel to it. The map is somewhat tight with many inter-connected hallways and slight step-ups that cover the three varying height levels. With the addition of tele's the speed of this map st00pid! =). The custom textures provided by Stecki look just great and put me in mind of a glorified dm4 theme. All the lighting is provided by the ambient dusk sky and wall mounted crucifix light fixtures. You'll dig on all the cool details in metal textures with rusted grates and weathered stains running from the steel rivets. The dirt flooring in the heart of map fits well and completes the theme.

With 2 versions of the same map included in the pk3 file, you'll be happy with duels or small FFA's. The gameplay is very intense due to the strong connectivity and selection of all the weaps excluding the BFG. FFA's are really messy and with plenty of cut-off points the GL and RL really stand up and make some noise here. I found duels to be quite satisfying in the main version as well as the bonus "tourney" version. Of course the tourney version is a bit smaller and some item tweaks have made it more suitable for this style of play. The small puddles of water on the ground floor make for some great sound cues, as does a pick-up of the Mega and RA. If you can get suited up with a GL and RL and get to the RA/Mega side of the level you can really get the frags rolling. I had a great time surprising punks with some nice GL shots down the many halls and openings available to me from the RA perch =). Moving around the map is a breeze and you can scoot from one side to the other rather quickly by jumping from platform to platform and by using the teleporters.

I had a great time on this one and with 2 versions of the map you'll be ready for any situation. The gibs fly fast and blood rains constantly in "Until The End Of Time". Grab this one and be sure to check out the other great maps by the author at his website
